Building Information Modeling Global Market Report 2025

Building Information Modelling (BIM) is a method for creating and managing data related to a construction project throughout its entire life cycle. It integrates data from various fields to generate detailed digital representations that can be actively managed in real-time within an open cloud environment.

The primary deployment types for Building Information Modelling solutions are on-premises deployment and cloud deployment. On-premises Building Information Modelling refers to deploying the software on the premises of the construction company. On-premise BIM software is installed at the project site to enhance data security for construction projects. The project lifecycle encompasses preconstruction, construction, and operation. Major components of Building Information Modelling include software and services, utilized in applications like planning and modeling, construction and design, asset management, building system analysis, maintenance scheduling, among others. It is employed by architects or engineers, contractors, and other stakeholders.

Note that the outlook for this market is being affected by rapid changes in trade relations and tariffs globally. The report will be updated prior to delivery to reflect the latest status, including revised forecasts and quantified impact analysis. The report's Recommendations and Conclusions sections will be updated to give strategies for entities dealing with the fast-moving international environment.

The sharp rise in U.S. tariffs and the ensuing trade tensions in spring 2025 are having a significant impact on the information technology sector, especially in hardware manufacturing, data infrastructure, and software deployment. Increased duties on imported semiconductors, circuit boards, and networking equipment have driven up production and operating costs for tech companies, cloud service providers, and data centers. Firms that depend on globally sourced components for laptops, servers, and consumer electronics are grappling with extended lead times and mounting pricing pressures. At the same time, tariffs on specialized software and retaliatory actions by key international markets have disrupted global IT supply chains and dampened foreign demand for U.S.-made technologies. In response, the sector is ramping up investments in domestic chip production, broadening its supplier network, and leveraging AI-powered automation to improve resilience and manage costs more effectively.

The building information modeling market research report is one of a series of new reports from The Business Research Company that provides building information modeling market statistics, including building information modeling industry global market size, regional shares, competitors with a building information modeling market share, detailed building information modeling market segments, market trends and opportunities, and any further data you may need to thrive in the building information modeling industry. This building information modeling market research report delivers a complete perspective of everything you need, with an in-depth analysis of the current and future scenario of the industry.

The building information modeling market size has grown rapidly in recent years. It will grow from $7.39 billion in 2024 to $8.55 billion in 2025 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 15.7%. The growth in the historic period can be attributed to expansion of building lifecycle management, industry standards and certifications, efficiency and cost savings, government initiatives and mandates, emergence of 3d modeling.

The building information modeling market size is expected to see rapid growth in the next few years. It will grow to $16.05 billion in 2029 at a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 17.1%. The growth in the forecast period can be attributed to rise in remote collaboration tools, emphasis on building performance analysis, focus on smart cities and urban development, growing demand for facility management integration, advancements in 5D BIM. Major trends in the forecast period include integration of artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning, rise of cloud-based BIM solutions, focus on sustainable design and green building practices, expansion of virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) in BIM.

The forecast of 17.1% growth over the next five years reflects a modest reduction of 0.5% from the previous estimate for this market. This reduction is primarily due to the impact of tariffs between the US and other countries. Tariff increases could affect BIM deployment in the U.S. construction sector by raising costs for visualization software licenses and cloud-based architecture tools hosted abroad. The effect will also be felt more widely due to reciprocal tariffs and the negative effect on the global economy and trade due to increased trade tensions and restrictions.

The rapid growth in construction is anticipated to drive the modular construction market in the future. The construction industry focuses on the trade and manufacturing aspects of building, repairing, renovating, and maintaining infrastructure. These construction activities generate a demand for building information modeling (BIM), which enhances productivity and shortens project timelines through improved communication and coordination. This advancement allows the construction sector to expedite projects by significantly reducing both labor and time. For example, in July 2024, the US Census Bureau reported that the value of construction activities increased from $2.01 trillion in May 2023 to $2.14 trillion in May 2024. Consequently, the rapid growth in construction is expected to bolster the building information modeling (BIM) market.

Water shortages are anticipated to drive the growth of the building information modeling (BIM) market in the future. Water shortages occur when the demand for freshwater surpasses the available supply, resulting in inadequate water resources. BIM plays a crucial role in water conservation efforts by optimizing the design and construction of water-efficient infrastructure to mitigate the effects of water shortages. For example, in March 2023, the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO), a France-based agency dedicated to promoting global peace, reported that 2 billion people-26% of the world's population-lack access to clean drinking water. Additionally, 3.6 billion individuals, representing 46% of the global population, do not have access to properly managed sanitation services. The number of urban residents experiencing water shortages is expected to double by 2050. As a result, water shortages are a significant driver of growth in the building information modeling market.

The rising trend of the Internet of Things (IoT) in construction is gaining popularity and impacting the Building Information Modeling (BIM) market. IoT applications in construction streamline ordering and modeling processes, reducing the time required for ordering materials. Companies in the BIM sector are incorporating BIM and IoT smart building technologies to enhance construction project management. For example, SIMLAB, a Poland-based technology company, has integrated BIM and IoT into Matterport Digital Twins, enabling stakeholders to track and view critical points during the architectural design stage and examine construction sites remotely.

Major companies in the building information modeling (BIM) market are creating software solutions, including innovative field-ready BIM technology, to meet various critical industry needs. This new field-ready BIM technology encompasses advanced digital tools and solutions aimed at improving the efficiency and effectiveness of construction processes in the field. For instance, in June 2023, OpenSpace, a US-based technology firm, introduced OpenSpace BIM+, a suite of field-ready BIM technology designed to enhance on-site coordination and efficiency for construction teams. This cutting-edge solution offers user-friendly 3D tools that allow field teams and Virtual Design and Construction (VDC) professionals to quickly access and compare BIM models with actual site conditions, enabling faster problem-solving and improved communication. Notable features include BIM analysis and coordination tools that help align design intent with on-site realities, as well as seamless model management to ensure that information remains current throughout the project.
